Staging: rtl8188eu: Use put_unaligned_le16
Using byte ordering functions and then memcpy() is risky and prone to hide errors which are hard to track down. So, this patch introduces the use of function put_unaligned_le16 which makes the code clear. Here, use of variable tim_bitmap_le and variable itself is removed. Also, to be compatible with the changes header file is added too. Coccinelle is used to do this change and semantic patch used for this is as follows: @A@ typedef __le16; __le16 e16; identifier tmp; expression ptr; expression y,e; type T; @@ - tmp = cpu_to_le16(y); <+... when != tmp ( - memcpy(ptr, (T)&tmp, \(2\|sizeof(__le16)\|sizeof(e16)\)); + put_unaligned_le16(y,ptr); | - memcpy(ptr, (T)&tmp, ...); + put_unaligned_le16(y,ptr); ) ...+> ? tmp = e @@ type T; identifier a.tmp; @@ - T tmp; ...when != tmp Signed-off-by: Vaishali Thakkar <vthakkar1994@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Reviewed-by: Preeti U Murthy <preeti@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
